Believe in him always. He is just as real as papa and mamma; Just is real as electricity, and as the air we breathe. Without Santa Clacs the world would be unbearably dreary; some who have doubted his existence have gladly died, to leave such a place. But they were mistaken. If there were no Santa Claus it would be as though God had forgot. And, if God forgot, there might be flowers with no sweetness and no color; there might be no flowers at all. Birds would not put on their brightest feathers in the Spring and would forget to sing. No Santa Claus! As soon think of there being no sun. Without Santa Claus we would have no pictures, no music, no laughter. And when, in thes? holiday times, we see funny old men play ing the part just as an actor pretends he is really George Wash ington, to make his play seem real it gives us more proof that there really is a Santa Claus, because we grown folks know that the men who are playing Santa Claus are doing it to bring happi ness to others; to melt hard hearts and make them, too, believe in Santa Claus. And Santa Claus always smiles. There never was t child so timid as to cry at the sight of this jolly old man. And he smiles because he Just feels like smiling. His duty, his work, is to make others happy and to make others happy is the surest way to make yourself happy. Write to Santa Claus; think of Santa Claus; love Santa Claus as you love the dearest thing in the world and well you may, for Santa Claus is Love. Credit to Gimbel Brothers, New York.
